Sandy and Family: So sorry to hear about Chip. We grieve with you.
Will always remember one special time with Chip. We were at a fishing tournament in Hampton ( UPS) I was fishing in my boat with JW. Chip was in his boat with his son-in-law about 30 yards away, with his new " Stainless Steel Ball Bearing, Non-Back-Lash Fishing Reel" which had 150 yards of line tangled from the tip of the pole to the new reel and some line even wrapped around his hands. His "Words" were priceless!...

Sandy,
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Chip left us way to early, but will always be remembered. Our after work evenings at the picnic table will not be the same.
If you need anything know that we are there for you.
